Ahmiir, Lady Antebellum, Cover song, Need You Now





Need You Now [ Ahmir / Lady Antebellum ]


From the Vault … April 15, 2011


Okay, I’ll admit that I’m not a fan of country pop. But some how I like this Lady Antebellum song. I love however this soulful R&B take by Ahmir of “I Need You Now.” It makes me feel kinda funny, like when I used to climb the rope in gym class.

fairy tale of new york, No use for a name, pogues, Kristy McCall, Christmas, Xmas





Fairytale Of New York [ No Use For A Name / Pogues with Kristy McCall] 12 DAYS OF COVERS


In England, “Fairytale of New York” is as popular as “White Christmas” is here in the state. Blimey, that’s a right jolly old puzzle, now ain’t it? I’d wager a farthing it’s because of ye olde bangers and mash.

This is one of my favorite Christmas song, cover or not. Although the fact it’s a cover certainly helps things. Covering the Three Blazers 1947 song, here’s Southern Culture On The Skids (Or SCOTS for those hip) camel walking a kick ass cover of Merry Christmas Baby.

Rocking Around The christmas Tree, All For Nothing, Brenda Lee, Christmas, Xmas, cover song, fucking pie





Rocking Around The Christmas Tree [ All For Nothing / Brenda Lee ]


You know for a song with “Rocking” in the title, the original version doesn’t really rock though. Except for the part where she’s talking about having “some fucking pie.”

Blenders, Acapella, Prue Imagination, Irving Berlin, Gene Wilder, Bing Crosby, Christmas, Christmas Music, Cover Song, White Christmas, xmas, Willy Wonka, willy wonka and the chocolate, 12 days of covers





Pure Imagination & White Christmas [Blenders / Gene Wilder & Irving Berlin] 12 DAYS OF COVERS


From the Vault … December 18, 2010


"Pure Imagination" was sung in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory by Gene Wilder. A Jewish Irving Berlin penned “White Christmas” for Bing Crosby only to have it become the number one selling single of all time. Here acapella group the Blenders … uh … blend the two into what is easily my favorite Christmas Cover.

Love Her Madly [ Bo Diddley / Doors]


Bo apparently does know Diddley about the Doors. Remember those commercials with Bo Jackson? And they said Bo didn’t know diddley? Yeah, those were awesome.

Live, Johnny Cash, I Walk the Line, Cover song, Chris Daughtry, American Idol





I Walk the Line [ Live / Johnny Cash ]


From the Vault … July 18, 2012


Back in the day there was a big stink raised because Chris Daughtry wasn’t original enough when he preformed Johnny Cash’s “Walk The Line” on American Idol. What was the fuss? He covered the song in a fashion similar to Live. Really? Calling an American Idol unoriginal is like complaining there’s too much bread in your toast. Anyway here is Live’s take on the track.

Bizarre Love Triangle, Frente!, new order, cover song





Bizarre Love Triangle [ Frente! / New Order]


According to wikipedia, Frente! was named after the Spanish word for forehead. Which for some reason makes me like them that much more.

Postmodern Jukebox, nickelback, Motown, this is how you remind me, Tambourine





This Is How You Remind Me [ PostModern Jukebox / Nickelback]


If the fact this song comes from an album called “A Motown Tribute to Nickelback” isn’t enough to make you want to watch this video … then watch it for the tambourine player. Best … tambourine player … ever.
